Program Overview
From point A to point B, from beginning to end, from origin to destination — a lot of things happen in order for us to enjoy the goods and services we use every day.
Operations and Supply Chain Management brings together the best creative minds, producers and sellers to collaborate and develop the most efficient flow of goods so businesses can thrive. The need for experienced, well-educated operations and supply chain managers has never been greater.
In this program, you’ll learn to manage materials, information and finances through the supply chain of manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and consumers. Plus, you’ll benefit from a diverse analytical curriculum with business and general education coursework while also completing your business administration degree.
You’ll systematically and strategically coordinate operations and supply chain processes within and among companies, and develop a total-systems view that will optimize efficiency, conserve resources and satisfy customers.
Faculty with industry experience will bring you inside this dynamic field, teaching you operations and continuity, logistics, process improvement, accounting, microeconomics and other business subjects. You’ll also have the opportunity to pursue an internship in your field of interest to build your résumé and make industry connections.
